Recommendation: Polar bear
Polar bears are famous for their pool jumps due to the heat, but they are
active in winter too. Their large white bodies contrast beautifully with the
snowy landscape. A cute baby female polar bear born in December 2021 quickly
became a sensation; see her playful antics at the Polar Bear Pavilion.
Recommendation: "Naruhodo" guide
Listen to staff describe the animals' unique behaviors, supported by rarely
seen specimens and photographs, offering plenty of surprises and new
discoveries.
Recommendation: Information boards
Discover the adorable information boards placed throughout the park, created
by the zoo staff.
Icebreaker ship Garinko No.III IMERU
The cruise ship features two large screws at the bow that push through the
drift ice, producing a "graunching" sound. Feel the ice breaking with the
onboard vibrations. Enjoy the thrill of observing drift ice rising alongside
the ship, providing a close encounter with one of Hokkaido's top winter
attractions, and experience the marvel and excitement of drift ice.
Garinko No.III IMERU (the newly built icebreaker ship)
Enjoy the breathtaking view of drift ice in the northernmost Okhotsk Sea of
Japan. Get a chance to spot birds like Steller's sea eagles, white-tailed sea
eagles, and slaty-backed gulls perched on the drift ice, as well as adorable
seals peeking out. Experience a sunset cruise with a view of the orange-hued
drift ice.
